Here is my problem: I had a virus on my computer, that is all taken car of but it took my themes off for XP. I was wondering if there was any way I can get XP themes back. The people that fixed my computer said they knew of a way but it was too complicated for them. If there is a way can you give me step by step instructions? I would be so very greatful if anyone can help me! (the themes I want back are for my start window task bar etc. right now it looks like basic oldschool windows)

Check at Control Panel - System - Advanced - in Performance click
Settings - Visual Effects.

Ensure that the bottom box - use visual styles on windows and buttons -
is checked


Go to Start/Administrative Tools/Services/Themes. Set to Automatic.
Also check your settings here:


Start/Administrative Tools/Services/Terminal Services/Log On. At the bottom
ensure that Hardware Profile Original Configuration is Enabled.


If the above doesn't apply/nor help:


Only windows Classic is listed under Appearance:


1. Right click on the desktop and choose Properties.
2. On the Theme tab, choose the Windows XP.
3. If this option is missing, you may choose Browse... to
C:\Windows\Resources\Themes\Luna.theme
4. The Luna.theme is the theme of the Windows XP.


If Luna.theme is missing: Go to Start/Run/Msconfig/Expand Files:
Luna.MS_ and Luna.TH_
